Once you have attended your consultation appointment and one\nof our practitioners has confirmed that you are suitable for the treatment your\nnext appointments will be scheduled. The first part of the treatment consists\nof you having one or multiple titanium screws inserted into your jawbone, where\nthey will fuse together over time. The screws are positioned where the roots of\nyour original teeth used to be. This keeps your jawbone stimulated and prevents\nit from deteriorating after you have lost teeth, boosting your overall health\nas well as your appearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These screws act as a support for your new artificial teeth,\nand after your mouth has healed you will have another appointment during which\nyour dental practitioner will attach the required appliance to these supports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A simple treatment no matter how many teeth you are restoring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What appliance you require will depend on how many teeth you\nare missing and what positions they are in if you have some original teeth left\ntoo. Getting dental implants in\nGuildford<\/a> is easy whether you are restoring one or all of your\nteeth. Your dentist will discuss which appliance is going to be most effective\nfor you at your consultation appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are replacing a single tooth, or multiple teeth in\ndifferent places that still have original teeth on either side of them, a crown\nor multiple crowns will be fitted to your tooth implants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bridge or partial denture is used when you are missing\nmultiple teeth, but which appliance is most suitable for you will depend on the\npositioning of your missing teeth. If you need to replace multiple teeth that\nare all next to each other then a partial denture will be used, but if you have\noriginal teeth in between your missing ones then a bridge will be more\neffective and offer your original tooth more support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are replacing a whole mouthful of teeth then a full\ndenture will be fitted. You will not need one screw per tooth if you are\nreplacing all of your teeth. Some patients only need four screws to support\ntheir new teeth, whilst others can require up to twelve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you wish to upgrade from your current appliance?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many people that get dental implants in\nGuildford<\/strong> are upgrading from their removable dentures or other\nappliances, such as metallic coloured crowns. Removable dentures are efficient\nwhen it comes to replacing teeth, but people often find themselves worrying\nabout their dentures coming loose or falling out in public, or getting food\nstuck in them if it is too chewy or sticky. Tooth implants will eradicate these\nworries, as your new teeth are unable to come loose due to their fixed nature\nand you can enjoy any food you would like to eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another reason why some people favour this treatment over\nothers is that it provides you with completely natural looking teeth that blend\nin with your original ones. The tooth-coloured restorative treatments like\ncrowns are difficult for other people to spot, meaning when people upgrade from\ntheir metallic coloured crowns they often notice a boost in their confidence\ntoo. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
